i feel like there’s a genie in charge of avatar. the thing we wanted most was probably a show about Kyoshi, our beloved 8 foot tall bisexual trans woman, free from all self doubt, kills fascists, separates an island from a fucking continent to be gay in peace and start a feminist militia. “the tallest feet of any avatar” and The Most Down For Murder.

and they announce we’re getting two ya novels about her!

and then they announce a second live action reboot of the original show. as if anyone asked for that again. as if anyone thinks “hey this was a great cartoon, you know what else would be good? if it was a live action show that needs to be at least 50% cgi anyway”. 

and that means that it’s not that they just didn’t have the time or funding for a whole new show at the moment, they just thought it was safer to make a show that doesn’t tread any new ground.
